AC Milan are currently gearing up for their game against Roma on Sunday evening, and as highlighted by the papers this morning, Luka Modric and Rafael Leao will be key players.
The last two games ended in draws for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, so there is a great desire to get back to winning ways on Sunday. It will be difficult, though, as Roma have also started the season positively with 21 points collected thus far.

A win would see Milan leapfrog the Giallorossi in the standings, the probability of which has increased significantly with the recovery of Leao for the game. Indeed, with the other Milan forwards struggling to get going, the No. 10 remains a key player.
Speaking of key players, the same can be said for Modric. He had a difficult game against Atalanta mid-week, admittedly, but the numbers are clear regardless: he has the most completed passes in the league so far.

Gazzetta dello Sport
🥇 “The golden boy. Modric’s passes are already record-breaking.”
📊 “Perfect touches and passes: no one in the league makes as many as the Croatian.”
🔑 “Milan are revolving around him, and Leao has recovered for Roma.”
Corriere dello Sport
🔑 “Milan, give the keys to Leao. Rafa recovers for tomorrow evening’s clash against Roma.”
Ja finally Leao and RLC last time they played together Milan 4-2 LFC
😀 I watched that match in the summer in a bar owned and frequented by Liverpool fans. I was the only AC Milan fan that day in the bar full of Liverpool fans, damn that was a funny experience turning up in my AC Milan shirt and messing around with them all 😀
